FRIEND AND FOE IN POLITICS: She was feeding POOR on Foreign Aid. Kiran has joined NFP to prop up PAAPI and Coupist to be Prime Minister. She told us under Rabuka's watch 75-year-old Indo-Fijian woman RAPED

IMMUNITY FROM RAPE in the Rabuka-Reddy 1997 Constitution of Fiji
'In 1987, I was told by an Indo-Fijian family that their 75-year-old grandmother was RAPED in front of them by Rabuka's Coup soldiers' - Sashi Kiran

Fijileaks: Yes, for he will NEVER allow an Indo-Fijian to be Prime Minister. And Political Arkarti BIMAN PRASAD and his new side-kick SASHI KIRAN are trying hard for the Coupist and Racist to fulfil his DREAM

"When Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum tries to play politics with FRIEND, he does not insult her; he insults all of FRIEND’s workers, volunteers and all the people who gave the organisation millions of dollars in money and goods to help people affected by the COVID-19 outbreak."
NFP provisional candidate Sashi Kiran

FijiFirst General Secretary Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum claims the National Federation Party proposed candidate Sashi Kiran was using FRIEND Fiji for her political advancement while Kiran asks whether Aiyaz really thinks that all these people’s money, kindness and hard work, was just for people who voted NFP.

While speaking outside the Saint Stephens building after the FijiFirst Party filed their candidate nominations, Sayed-Khaiyum says a number of NGOs in Fiji are in a position of using the NGO facade to further a political agenda.

He says that has now manifested with Sashi Kiran being nominated by NFP.

He adds he does not know if they have done their nomination but when they do, they will announce Kiran as a candidate and this is the manifestation of that.

He alleges they used people on the ground in the rural areas and the message was that they did not give ration to those who openly supported FijiFirst.

Sayed-Khaiyum adds we cannot have people who lead NGOs have that kind of attitude and seeing she is simply trying to just get attention by trying to appeal to a certain number of vote banks.

Meanwhile Kiran says when Sayed-Khaiyum tries to play politics with FRIEND, he does not insult her, he insults all of FRIEND’s workers, volunteers and all the people who gave the organisation millions of dollars in money and goods to help people affected by the COVID-19 outbreak while Sayed-Khaiyum was nowhere to be seen and he left Dr James Fong to do all the talking.

Kiran says after December 14th, no one will worry about Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum.

Kiran adds Sayed-Khaiyum and his party are the past and NFP is the future.

She further says who cares what Sayed-Khaiyum thinks anyway. Source: Fijivillage News
